Italian steel manufacturer, Acciaieria Arvedi and Gestamp, the Spanish multinational specializing in the design, development, and manufacture of metal components for the automotive industry, have signed an agreement to supply OEMs with sustainably produced low-emissions steel components using Arvedi’s “Carbon neutral certified ARVZERO steel” made from high-quality scrap.
Gestamp selected Acciaieria Arvedi to create a more sustainable supply chain as part of its ESG strategy. Thirty years ago, the Italian steel company began an R&D project to develop an innovative technology that allows them to produce steel from selected recycled scrap. The sustainability of ARVZERO steel is based on the Arvedi-ESP technology and production via electric arc furnace, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and utilizing certified renewable energies. This partnership marks a step towards circularity, a key pillar for decarbonizing the industry across the entire supply chain, ultimately contributing to the long-term goal of the Net Zero Car. The agreement allows Gestamp to return steel scrap generated during the production of stamping parts to Acciaieria Arvedi. This enables Acciaieria Arvedi to reprocess the high-quality scrap and reintroduce it into the production cycle, laying the groundwork for a circular economy.
